Time has really flown by. As I watch my children graduate from college and raise their own families, I am reminded of the time. I’m not 25. I’m just sometimes shocked to think that 36 years have passed since I was! Thinking back on the great deal of time that I spent I always ask myself: Did I use those years well? Did I spend these years in such a way that I merit and gain more? Is there anything that I can do to slow down the clock? Knowing the swiftness (迅速) of time lets us know how we spend it quickly. It should be encouraged not to waste it, not to avoid the ill and uncomfortable problems we need to be faced with, and to deal with our weaknesses and challenges now rather than put them to some future date. I often realize the importance of growth and change. I accept Hillel’s opinion, “If not now, when?” I know that time doesn’t slow down but rather speeds up. Since that’s true, the time to act is now. We frequently forget how much time passes so quickly; however, the loss of anyone who is close to us reminds us of how life is valuable as well as how time flies! Our opportunities for growth won’t be here forever. If I want to change, if I want to grow, the time is now. At this moment,I am reminded of the flying time by the words on the T-shirt again. Therefore I made up my mind to improve myself now. 41. What does the writer use the example of the older man to do? A. To bring forward how time flies. B. To show the old man is very poor. C. To show the old man’s mind is young. D. To show the writer understands old people’s mind. 42. What can we know about the author? A. He is in his sixties. B. He graduated recently. C. He is mad about a T-shirt. D. He spoke highly of the old man. 43. The underlined word in Para. 2 has the closest meaning to________. A. carry on B. break away from C. consider or think of D. earn or be worth 44. We can infer from Para.4 that________. A. time often upsets or worries us B. time speeds up in a popular way C. time can take away those we love D. there is enough time for us to grow well 45. Which could be the best title for the passage? A. Time will tell B. If not now, when? C. We will take action D. The journey of time 【答案】41. A 42. A 43. D 44. C 45. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过观察身边事物，引发了对时间流逝的感慨，并呼吁人们珍惜时间，现在就采取行动去改变和成长。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“I saw an old man wearing a T-shirt today with an interesting slogan:‘Inside this older person is a younger person wondering what has happened.’ I could really understand that. (今天，我看到一个穿着印有“在这个老人内心是一个年轻人，想知道发生了什么”的T恤。我真的很能理解这一点)”根据第二段“Time has really flown by.(时间过得真快)”可知，作者使用老人的例子来引出时间飞逝的话题。故选A。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I’m not 25. I’m just sometimes shocked to think that 36 years have passed since I was!( 我不是25岁了。我只是有时会震惊地想到，36年已经过去了！)”可知，作者大约在61岁左右。故选A。 【43题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Did I spend these years in such a way that I merit and gain more?(这些年我是否以一种merit并获得更多的方式度过)”可知，与“获得”并列的是“应得或者值得”。故划线词的意思是“应得或者值得”。故选D项。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“…the loss of anyone who is close to us reminds us of how life is valuable as well as how time flies!(任何亲近之人的离去提醒我们生命的珍贵以及时间的飞逝)”可推知，时间能带走我们所爱的人。故选C。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“I often realize the importance of growth and change. I accept Hillel’s opinion, “If not now, when?”(我经常意识到成长和改变的重要性。我接受希勒尔的观点，“如果不是现在，什么时候?)”可知，文章通过观察身边事物，引发了对时间流逝的感慨，并呼吁人们珍惜时间，现在就采取行动去改变和成长。所以短文的标题为“如果不是现在，那什么时候？”。故选B项。 C The world’s oceans will likely lose about one-sixth of their fish and other creatures within 100 years if climate change continues at its present speed. These are the findings of a computer-based study by an International team of marine biologists (海洋生物学家). Every degree Celsius (℃) that the world’s oceans warm, their biomass, or the total weight of all the marine animal life, is expected to drop by 5%, the study also found. The study predicts that if there is no change in the speed of worldwide greenhouse gas production, there will be a 17% loss of biomass by the year 2100. But, if the world reduces carbon (碳) pollution, biomass losses could be limited to only about 5%. William Chung is a marine biologist at the University of British Columbia in Canada. He co-wrote the study, and told the Associated Press, “There are already changes that have been noticed. Warming temperatures are the biggest problem. But climate change also produces oceans that are more acidic and have less oxygen, which can also harm sea life. Much of the world depends on the oceans for food and work, the scientists say. University of Victoria biology professor Julia Baum was not part of the study, but she said the findings made sense. She noted that the possible influence of the predicted losses of animal life was huge. “Climate change may cause serious new problems with ocean resource (资源) use and food safety as the human population continues to grow,” said Baum. Marine biologist Boris Worm, who helped run the study, added that those marine animals that we used directly and cared about most deeply, were predicted to be most affected. Former computer-based studies looked at only part of the picture or used only one model. The latest study used six different computer models to give the best picture look, William Cheungn said. 46. Which of the following words can be used to describe the study? A. Well-known. B. Experimental. C. All-sided. D. Scientific. 47. From the findings, we can know that ________. A. biologists have noticed a great change in the air B. the speed of worldwide greenhouse gas production is slowing C. the warmer the world’s oceans are, the lower their biomass is D. the world’s oceans will lose most of their creatures in 100 years 48. Professor Julia Baum ________. A. is a co-author of the study B. thought the study was meaningful C. paid more attention to seafood safety D. failed to realize the importance of climate change 49. What can we infer from William Cheung’s words? A. The findings work as a call for action. B. More fish that we usually eat will die in the future. C. The latest study provided better picture than ever. D. The new study is the first one to be carried out on computers. 50. The passage mainly tells us ________. A. ocean warming may greatly reduce sea life B. how hard marine biologists carry out the study C. the pollution of worldwide oceans is serious now D. how people’s lives affect the world’s oceans 【答案】46. D 47. C 48. B 49. C 50. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述气候变化对海洋生物多样性的影响，特别是如果气候变化按照当前速度持续下去，海洋生物量将会显著减少。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Former computer-based studies looked at only part of the picture or used only one model. The latest study used six different computer models to give the best picture look, William Cheung said. (以往的计算机研究只看了部分情况或者只用了一个模型。最新研究使用了六种不同的计算机模型，以提供最佳画面效果，William Cheung说。)”可知，最新的研究是科学的，因为它使用了多种模型提供更完整的信息。故选D。 47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Every degree Celsius (℃) that the world’s oceans warm, their biomass, or the total weight of all the marine animal life, is expected to drop by 5%. (世界海洋每升温一摄氏度，其生物量或所有海洋动物生命的总重量预计下降5%。)”可知，海洋温度越高，其生物量越低。故选C。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“University of Victoria biology professor Julia Baum was not part of the study, but she said the findings made sense. (维多利亚大学生物学教授Julia Baum没有参与这项研究，但她说研究结果是有意义的。)”可知，Julia Baum认为这项研究很有意义。故选B。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The latest study used six different computer models to give the best picture look (最新的研究使用了六种不同的计算机模型，以提供最佳画面效果)”可知，最新的研究提供了比以往更好的画面效果。故选C。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The world’s oceans will likely lose about one-sixth of their fish and other creatures within 100 years if climate change continues at its present speed. (如果气候继续以目前的速度变化，世界海洋可能会在100年内失去大约六分之一的鱼类和其他生物。)”可知，这篇文章主要告诉我们海洋变暖可能会大大减少海洋生物数量。故选A项。 第四部分 写作 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读表达 How many sandwiches does it take to make a pyramid (金字塔)? Three. How many sandwiches does it take to bring your mom on a trip to see the pyramids? Considerably more. Still, that didn’t stop one son from making it happen. Gloria Walker always dreamed of traveling to Giza to see the pyramids, but more than that, she wanted to take her family along. Sadly, Walker was diagnosed with terminal cancer (癌症晚期) last year. Between the cost of travel and the limitations of her illness, that trip of a lifetime didn’t appear likely in the 56-year-old’s future. But her son Dustin was determined to make his mom’s dream come true. He just needed to figure out a way to make it happen. So what better way than making and selling his favorite sandwich using his mom’ recipe, of course - to raise the money? With sale days starting at 4 a. m. to bake homemade rolls, the entire family had been pitching in: Dustin and his wife Halley shared griddle (煎锅) duty; his father helped out with preparation. Dustin’s brother, sister, and children, along with some friends, had all been working to meet the goal. Dustin began to record the team efforts for Instagram, soon gathering a growing circle of sandwich-loving supporters. After that, demand (需求) increased greatly. Without an advanced kitchen, Dustin found it hard to keep up with it. That was when a local food truck owner stepped in with an offer to let Dustin and his family work out of his mobile cooking facility. Over the course of six weeks, the group raised $18,000 - enough for Dustin to take the family to Egypt with money to spare. They would be setting out at the beginning of May. This experience changed his mom’s life. However, Dustin has no plans to change his profession as a result. “So many people say, ‘Are you going to jump into this and open up a shop?’” Dustin said. “I could never. My heart and love is teaching and for the students.” 51. What was Gloria Walker’s dream? (no more than 8 words) ________________________________________________________________ 52. What does the underlined part in the fourth paragraph probably mean? ( no more than3 words) ________________________________________________________________ 53. What difficulty did Dustin meet with when realizing his mother dream? ( no more than 10 words) ________________________________________________________________ 54. What is Dustin’s profession? (no more than 3 words) ________________________________________________________________ 55. What do you think of Dustin? Please say it in your own words. (no more than 20 words) ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】51. To see the pyramids with her family. 52. Joining in. 53. He was unable to meet/ satisfy the increased demand for sandwiches. Or: His kitchen couldn’t satisfy/ meet the increased demand for sandwiches. Or: He couldn’t keep up with the increased demand for sandwiches. 54. A teacher. 55. He is good son. There is nothing he couldn’t do to make his mom happy. (言之有理即可) 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。短文叙述了达斯汀让母亲的梦想实现的故事。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Gloria Walker always dreamed of traveling to Giza to see the pyramids, but more than that, she wanted to take her family along .(格洛丽亚·沃克一直梦想着去吉萨看金字塔，但更重要的是，她想带着家人一起去。)”可知，格洛丽亚·沃克的梦想是和家人一起去看金字塔。故填To see the pyramids with her family. 【52题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Dustin and his wife Halley shared griddle (煎锅) duty; his father helped out with preparation. Dustin’s brother, sister, and children, along with some friends, had all been working to meet the goal. (达斯汀和妻子哈雷分担煎锅的工作；他的父亲帮忙准备。达斯汀的哥哥、妹妹、孩子们，还有一些朋友，都在努力实现这个目标。)”可知，全家人都参与了进来。所以划线词的意思是“加入”。故填Joining in。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“After that, demand (需求) increased greatly. Without an advanced kitchen, Dustin found it hard to keep up with it. (在那之后，需求大大增加。没有先进的厨房，达斯汀发现很难跟满足需求量的增加。)”可知，达斯汀在实现他的母亲梦时遇到的困难是他无法满足对三明治日益增长的需求。故填He was unable to meet/ satisfy the increased demand for sandwiches. Or: His kitchen couldn’t satisfy/ meet the increased demand for sandwiches. Or: He couldn’t keep up with the increased demand for sandwiches. 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“My heart and love is teaching and for the students. (我的心和爱是教学和为学生服务。)”可知，达斯汀的职业是一名教师。故填A teacher. 【55题详解】 开放性试题。根据第三段“But her son Dustin was determined to make his mom’s dream come true. He just needed to figure out a way to make it happen. (但她的儿子达斯汀决心让妈妈的梦想成真。他只需要想个办法让它实现。)”可知，他是个好儿子。为了让妈妈高兴，他可以做任何事情。故填He is good son. There is noting he couldn’t do to make his mom happy. 第二节 写作 56. 假如你是李华。你校近期将举行“小视频大赛（Video Contest）”。请你写一封信给在美国的朋友Jim，遨请他参加，并告知相关信息，内容包括： 1. 作品反映校园生活、家庭生活和家乡的变化等。 2. 视频不超过8分钟。 3. 参赛方式和截止时间。 注意：1. 词数100左右。 2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 3. 书信的开头和结尾已写好，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, I am writing with good news. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jim, I am writing with good news.

If a mother and her 8-year-old son go skating there without the son’s own skates, she should pay ________. A. 15 dollars B. 20 dollars C. 25 dollars D. 30 dollars B I saw an old man wearing a T-shirt today with an interesting slogan:“Inside this older person is a younger person wondering what has happened.” I could really understand that. Time has really flown by. As I watch my children graduate from college and raise their own families, I am reminded of the time. I’m not 25. I’m just sometimes shocked to think that 36 years have passed since I was! Thinking back on the great deal of time that I spent I always ask myself: Did I use those years well? Did I spend these years in such a way that I merit and gain more? Is there anything that I can do to slow down the clock? Knowing the swiftness (迅速) of time lets us know how we spend it quickly. It should be encouraged not to waste it, not to avoid the ill and uncomfortable problems we need to be faced with, and to deal with our weaknesses and challenges now rather than put them to some future date. I often realize the importance of growth and change. I accept Hillel’s opinion, “If not now, when?” I know that time doesn’t slow down but rather speeds up. Since that’s true, the time to act is now. We frequently forget how much time passes so quickly; however, the loss of anyone who is close to us reminds us of how life is valuable as well as how time flies! Our opportunities for growth won’t be here forever. If I want to change, if I want to grow, the time is now. At this moment,I am reminded of the flying time by the words on the T-shirt again. Therefore I made up my mind to improve myself now. 41. What does the writer use the example of the older man to do? A. To bring forward how time flies. B. To show the old man is very poor. C. To show the old man’s mind is young. D. To show the writer understands old people’s mind. 42. What can we know about the author? A. He is in his sixties. B. He graduated recently. C. He is mad about a T-shirt. D. He spoke highly of the old man. 43. The underlined word in Para. 2 has the closest meaning to________. A. carry on B. break away from C. consider or think of D. earn or be worth 44. We can infer from Para.4 that________. A. time often upsets or worries us B. time speeds up in a popular way C. time can take away those we love D. there is enough time for us to grow well 45. Which could be the best title for the passage? A. Time will tell B. If not now, when? C. We will take action D. The journey of time C The world’s oceans will likely lose about one-sixth of their fish and other creatures within 100 years if climate change continues at its present speed. These are the findings of a computer-based study by an International team of marine biologists (海洋生物学家). Every degree Celsius (℃) that the world’s oceans warm, their biomass, or the total weight of all the marine animal life, is expected to drop by 5%, the study also found. The study predicts that if there is no change in the speed of worldwide greenhouse gas production, there will be a 17% loss of biomass by the year 2100. But, if the world reduces carbon (碳) pollution, biomass losses could be limited to only about 5%. William Chung is a marine biologist at the University of British Columbia in Canada. He co-wrote the study, and told the Associated Press, “There are already changes that have been noticed. Warming temperatures are the biggest problem.

Which of the following words can be used to describe the study? A. Well-known. B. Experimental. C. All-sided. D. Scientific. 47. From the findings, we can know that ________. A. biologists have noticed a great change in the air B. the speed of worldwide greenhouse gas production is slowing C. the warmer the world’s oceans are, the lower their biomass is D the world’s oceans will lose most of their creatures in 100 years 48. Professor Julia Baum ________. A. is a co-author of the study B. thought the study was meaningful C. paid more attention to seafood safety D. failed to realize the importance of climate change 49.

Three. How many sandwiches does it take to bring your mom on a trip to see the pyramids? Considerably more. Still that didn’t stop one son from making it happen. Gloria Walker always dreamed of traveling to Giza to see the pyramids, but more than that, she wanted to take her family along. Sadly, Walker was diagnosed with terminal cancer (癌症晚期) last year. Between the cost of travel and the limitations of her illness, that trip of a lifetime didn’t appear likely in the 56-year-old’s future. But her son Dustin was determined to make his mom’s dream come true. He just needed to figure out a way to make it happen. So what better way than making and selling his favorite sandwich using his mom’ recipe, of course - to raise the money? With sale days starting at 4 a. m. to bake homemade rolls, the entire family had been pitching in: Dustin and his wife Halley shared griddle (煎锅) duty; his father helped out with preparation. Dustin’s brother, sister, and children, along with some friends, had all been working to meet the goal. Dustin began to record the team efforts for Instagram, soon gathering a growing circle of sandwich-loving supporters. After that, demand (需求) increased greatly. Without an advanced kitchen, Dustin found it hard to keep up with it. That was when a local food truck owner stepped in with an offer to let Dustin and his family work out of his mobile cooking facility. Over the course of six weeks, the group raised $18,000 - enough for Dustin to take the family to Egypt with money to spare. They would be setting out at the beginning of May. This experience changed his mom’s life. However, Dustin has no plans to change his profession as a result. “So many people say, ‘Are you going to jump into this and open up a shop?’” Dustin said. “I could never. My heart and love is teaching and for the students.” 51. What was Gloria Walker’s dream? (no more than 8 words) ________________________________________________________________ 52.
